Discovery of missing WWII plane brings closure to Louisiana family
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Less than two weeks after D-Day in 1944, two American B-24 bombers crashed into each other over the Baltic Sea.
The bombers were flying in tight formation when the propeller of one plane clipped the tail of the other. As both planes spun out of control, some of the airmen were able to parachute out, drifting into the water off the coast of Denmark.
The co-pilot of one of the bombers, Lt. Oscar Boudreaux, was picked up by Danish fishermen, only to be spotted by a German patrol boat.
